Background
History
There was a Victorian Manor built on the area in 1885 for Lt Col George Sheppard Harvey and his wife Edith. It was built as his retirement home after having served his country in the Royal Artillery. Col Harvey died in 1902 and left the house to his wife, who died in 1932, eight years later it was taken over by the Royal Aircraft Establishment. In 1970 the house was demolished. In 1986 Bracknell Council took over the southern part of the estate, opening it up for recreation and providing the car park. In 2002 the site was declared a local nature reserve by Bracknell Forest Council.
